Here is my arts and crafts style entertainment center in quartersawn white oak. It features spade shaped walnut inlays in the central doors. A trio of pegs adorns the top rail, and through tenons dress up the lower rail. Angled and shaped hardwood blocks conceal the wiring harness to the low voltage xenon lights.
Desk grommets allow component wiring to pass cleanly to the lower cabinet, and exit through access holes in the back panel.
The finish is a stain-over-dye technique, with a sprayed lacquer topcoat.

Beautiful. The spade inlays offer a subtle, yet attractive addition to the piece. as always, I’m amazed and envious at your wood selection and finish.

Sorry that I’m not a fan of either Oak or A &C in general but I can still admire fine craftsmanship.
Very nicely done!

Super-duper! Did you use a router inlay technique for the spade inlays?

Yup, those are probably the best A&C door inlays I’ve seen. Love it.

Chuck,
Yes I used a Whiteside router inlay bushing kit for the inlays.
Thanks for looking

I use a free program called Gimp. Use the free select tool to click on the corners, and details.
Then SELECT : Invert
Finally EDIT : Cut and the background will be removed.
